 DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS
FIG. 1 shows a schematic diagram of a head-mounted display 100 for eye tracking calibration according to an embodiment of the invention. The head-mounted display 100 may include a processor 110, a storage medium 120, a display 130, and an image capture device 140. The head-mounted display 100 may be worn on the head of the user, and may provide the user with an XR environment or XR scene, such as a virtual reality (VR) environment, an augmented reality (AR) environment, or a mixed reality (MR) environment.
The processor 110 is, for example, a central processing unit (CPU), or other programmable general-purpose or special-purpose micro control unit (MCU), microprocessor, digital signal processor (DSP), programmable controller, application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC), graphics processing unit (GPU), image signal processor (ISP), image processing unit (IPU), arithmetic logic unit (ALU), complex programmable logic device (CPLD), field-programmable gate array (FPGA), or other similar elements, or a combination of the above elements. The processor 110 may be coupled to the storage medium 120, the display 130, and the image capture device 140, and access and execute a plurality of modules and various applications in the storage medium 120.
The storage medium 120 is, for example, any type of fixed or removable random-access memory (RAM), read-only memory (ROM), flash memory, hard-disk drive (HDD), solid-state drive (SSD), or similar elements, or a combination of the above elements, and is used to store a plurality of modules or various applications that may be executed by the processor 110.
The display 130 may include a liquid-crystal display (LCD) or an organic light-emitting diode (OLED) display. In an embodiment, the display 130 may provide an image beam to the eyes of the user to form an image on the retina of the user, so that the user may see the XR scene created by the HMD.
The image capture device 140 is, for example, a camera used to capture an image. The image capture device 140 may include a photosensitive element such as a complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) or a charge coupled device (CCD). The image capture device 140 may be used to capture an eye image of the user wearing the head-mounted display 100. The processor 110 may perform eye tracking according to the eye image of the user. The head-mounted display 100 may interact with the user according to the results of eye tracking. For example, when the user looks at a virtual object of a virtual scene, the head-mounted display 100 may determine that the user is looking at the virtual object according to the results of eye tracking, and interact with the user using the virtual object.
FIG. 2 shows a flowchart of a method of calibrating an eye-tracking function according to an embodiment of the invention, wherein the method may be implemented by the head-mounted display 100 shown in FIG. 1 . In step S201, after the user wears the head-mounted display 100 on the head, the processor 110 may start to perform a calibration process of eye tracking. The calibration process may be initiated manually by the user or initiated automatically by the processor 110. For example, the processor 110 may be communicatively connected to an input device (e.g., a handheld controller or the image capture device 140). The user may perform the calibration process by operating the head-mounted display 100 using an input device. As another example, the processor 110 may start performing the calibration process after the head-mounted display 100 is started or after the head-mounted display 100 is worn on the head of the user. In an embodiment, the processor 110 may be coupled to an inertial measurement unit, and may determine whether the head-mounted display 100 is worn on the head of the user according to the measurement result of the inertial measurement unit. After the calibration process is started, the processor 110 may display the calibration points on positions of a position set sequentially in an order via the display 130, where the position set may include a plurality of positions.
In step S202, the processor 110 may select a position from the position set and display the calibration point on the selected position via the display 130. After the calibration point is displayed on the selected position, the processor 110 may remove the selected position from the position set to update the position set. That is, the remaining number of positions in the position set may be reduced after step S202.
During the display of the calibration point by the display 130, the processor 110 may capture the eye image of the user via the image capture device 140.
FIG. 3 shows a schematic diagram of the display 130 and a position set according to an embodiment of the invention. Taking FIG. 3 as an example, the position set may include a position 31, a position 32, a position 33, a position 34, and a position 35. In step S202, the processor 110 may select the position 31 from the five positions as the selected position, thereby displaying the calibration point on the position 31 via the display 130. Next, the processor 110 may remove the position 31 from the position set to update the position set. That is, the updated position set may include the position 32, the position 33, the position 34, and the position 35. During the display of the calibration point on the position 31 via the display 130, the processor 110 may capture the eye image of the user via the image capture device 140, wherein the eye image may include eye characteristics when the user is looking at the position 31.
In an embodiment, the processor 110 may select a selected position from the position set according to the current time and the number of positions of the position set, and display the calibration point on the selected position. Specifically, each of the positions of the position set may be preset with a value by the processor 110, wherein the values of the positions may be different from each other. The processor 110 may obtain a number N of positions in the position set, wherein N is a non-negative integer (i.e., N may be the remaining number of positions of the position set). The processor 110 may divide the current time by N to obtain the remainder (i.e., the processor 110 may perform an operation of dividing the current time by N). The processor 110 may select one of the positions from the position set as the selected position according to the remainder, wherein the selected position is with the value corresponding to the remainder. For example, assume that position 31 is preset with a value ‘1’, position 32 is preset with a value ‘2’, position 33 is preset with a value ‘3’, position 34 is preset with a value ‘4’, and position 35 is preset with a value ‘5’. If the current time is equal to ‘11’, the processor 110 may divide the current time ‘11’ by ‘N=5’ to obtain the remainder ‘1’. Since position 31 is with the value ‘1’ corresponding to the remainder ‘1’, the processor 110 may select position 31 from the position set to be the selected position. Position 31 may be removed from the position set and N may be reduced to 4.
In an embodiment of the present invention, the processor 110 may determine the current time according to the system clock. For example, if the system clock includes ‘11 seconds’, the processor 110 may determine that the current time is ‘11’. In an embodiment of the present invention, the processor 110 may determine the current time according to a gazing time on a previous calibration point. Assume that a previous calibration point was displayed on position 31 during a specific time period. After the previous calibration point on position 31 is vanished and position 31 is removed from the position set, the processor 110 may select one position from the remaining positions of the position set according to the specific time period. For example, if the specific time period is ‘10:50:50 to 10:50:58’, the processor 110 may determine that the current time is equal to ‘58’, which corresponds to the end second of the specific time period.
In step S203, the processor 110 may determine whether the remaining number of positions in the position set is zero. If the remaining number of positions is zero, the processor 110 may perform step S204 and may stop displaying the calibration point. If the remaining number of positions is greater than zero, the processor 110 may perform step S202 again. That is, the processor 110 may select a position from the updated position set as the selected position, and display the calibration point on the selected position via the display 130.
Taking FIG. 3 as an example, the processor 110 may iteratively perform step S202 and step S203 to sequentially display the calibration point on each position according to the order of the position 31, the position 32, the position 33, the position 34, and the position 35.
In step S204, the processor 110 may generate calibration data for eye tracking according to a plurality of eye images corresponding to a plurality of positions (e.g., the position 31, the position 32, the position 33, the position 34, and the position 35) in the initial position set. Then, the processor 110 may determine whether the eye tracking calibration process is successful according to the calibration data. The processor 110 may determine whether the calibration process is successful according to any algorithm or rule, which is not limited by the invention. If the processor 110 determines that the calibration process is successful, step S206 is performed. If the processor 110 determines that the calibration process fails, step S205 is performed.
In step S205, the processor 110 may initialize the position set. For example, the processor 110 may convert the position set from an empty set to a set containing the position 31, the position 32, the position 33, the position 34, and the position 35. After step S205 is completed, the processor 110 may perform step S202 again to attempt the calibration of eye tracking again.
In step S206, the processor 110 may perform eye tracking according to the calibration data.
FIG. 4 shows a flowchart of a method for eye tracking calibration according to an embodiment of the invention, wherein the method may be implemented by the head-mounted display 100 shown in FIG. 1 . In step S401, calibration points are displayed on positions of a position set sequentially in an order according to a current time and number of positions via a display by a head-mounted display. In step S402, during a display of the calibration points, an eye image is captured by the head-mounted display. In step S403, calibration data is generated according to the eye image by the head-mounted display.
Based on the above, the head-mounted display of the invention may display calibration points on different positions of the display sequentially in a random order. Users of the head-mounted display are not able to predict the position, order, or frequency of the calibration points according to past experience. Compared with traditional eye tracking calibration methods, the calibration data collected based on the method of the invention is more accurate. The accuracy of eye tracking performed based on the calibration data may be significantly improved.
